Hip Hop Karaoke

Hip Hop Karaoke

Hip Hop Karaoke returns once again. This night is a seriously heavy contender for the best Thursday pub night there is. Seriously. It’s so much fun and a really original twist. Take your laces out of your Adidas Shell Toes and walk this way. Seasoned veteran or casual fan, every performance gets free booze. Winner gets fame & prizes, and something lovely from Bored. SDM bringing the instrumental heat, we provide the words DO NOT MISS!

Hip Hop Karaoke

Last Thursday Hip Hop Karaoke at LJRs was another outstanding success. Although it was off to a slow start as no one wanted to kick start the night it was up to Jimmy C to get the crowd warmed up and get the registration forms flowing in. In no time at all the stage was surrounded and people were getting up and making their mark on the local Hip Hop Karaoke scene. I can’t remember half the names or songs, but know for a fact it was yet another banger. Quite possibly the best Thursday pub night there is going.

Special congratulations go to Lucy ‘Coolio’ Ware and Charlie ‘LV’ Waddington with their winning rendition of Gangsta’s Paradise. A clear judges and crowd favourite.

If you can then I advise coming to the next event. Even if Hip Hop isn’t really your thing the atmosphere will get you nodding your head and swinging your arms in the air before you know it.

Short and sweet, the new HIP HOP Karaoke night at The One Eyed is pure gold. One of the best pub night’s I’ve been to in ages. Well done Owain, Gaskell, Bored and everyone else involved. Look forward to next week.

Features

PRIMARY – Extended & Improved

We have some great news about our PRIMARY phonography exhibition (find out all the details here) that we can now announce:

- The deadline for submissions has now been extended to Sunday 4th March. We have had some incredible submissions but want to set aside more time to make the exhibition something really special.

- The competition is now open to up to 10 submissions from each individual. With the ability to capture many photos on your phone over the next two months we we want you to not feel restricted to just three. The same rules apply about the photos conforming to compositions using the primary colours though. If you have already submitted feel free to send more photos over as and when you please.

- The exhibition will be hosted by Albert Road’s own Bonzo Studio who are also partnering up with us in the creation of the exhibition space. More news on this soon!

- Finally, we will be running a competition as part of the exhibition where the best three photos submitted will win some incredible prizes. We will be announcing the prizes available very soon but got to say, these will be the best prize haul we have ever offered.

- We will be putting together a poster for the exhibition that will be on sale on the opening night. The poster will feature some of the best submissions and all profits from the sales will go to a local charity (details to follow soon). Due to this we need to say that any photos submitted to PRIMARY will involve you giving us permission to use them for commercial purposes, if you do not want your photo used in this way simply let us know via email.

Well, that is it for now! We really hope to drum up as much coverage locally for PRIMARY in the next couple of months so if you could Facebook/Tweet/+1 about the exhibition we would really appreciate it. We would love this exhibition to be a real reflection of the whole population of Portsmouth with everyone taking part and feeling involved.

It’s going to be a Strong Movember – Closed at £725

Righto chaps, it’s time to clean shave your boat race and get that mighty moustache on the grow in support of Movember for The Prostate Cancer Charity and the Institute of Cancer Research.
